December 28, 2025Dec 28 Hello!I'm trying to clone a VM and I only get the loading screen, like attached image. No log is produced there, even after several minutes. Checked unraid logs, also no information about this process at all.The VM is working fine. It's a fedora installation with almost nothing added, so it's a small one. Doesn't have gpu or anything fancy attached.What could be the issue?I don't know if it's relevant, but: the server runs on a Asus TUF b650 and Ryzen 7700. I have other vms, all of them are working find, but I can't clone any of them too.Doing it "manually" works - copying the virtual disk file to somewhere else and creating a new VM. But I don't want to do that, as unraid has this clone feature.Thanks!

December 29, 2025Dec 29 Author Thanks for the reply. I think I found the issue while reviewing the diagnostics to check if there was something I did not wanted to share.Found this log:2025-12-29 07:10:25.185+0000: 14323: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1782 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error2025-12-29 07:10:36.788+0000: 14326: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:10443 : Failed to open file '/mnt/slow-cache/domain/Fedora/vdisk1.qcow2': No such file or directoryThis log was in logs/libvirt.txt file. This is not the same VM I was trying to copy. I was using it maybe last year, but removed this storage pool many months ago, but the VM was left there. I just removed this VM and now I can copy the others as expected. I think this could be improved, to highlight that there is some error with my VMs.Thanks again @SimonF
